System of Care - Missouri
The System of Care Approach

Any organization working with the family becomes part of the System of Care team. The family leads the team to work together in meeting family goals by providing individualized, strength-based services in a coordinated effort.


The Wraparound Philosophy


An individualized planning process for children with high needs and their families that wraps needed services around them, resulting in a unique set of community services and natural supports that achieves positive outcomes.


SOC Resources

The University of South Florida's Training Center for Children's Mental Health has been a long-standing resource in Missouri's System of Care evolution. The Center recently released another tool that should prove useful, entitled "System Implementation Issue Briefs." This series offers concrete examples from communities that have successfully developed Systems of Care.

Four issue briefs are now available on-line at - http://rtckids.fmhi.usf.edu/cssi
